'Patented March 23, 1909.

Application filed February 28, 1908. Serial No. 418,190.

Y sition of the ends of the curtain or shade roller support may beaccomplished easily and effectively.

To these ends further objects of my invention are to provide a device ofthe kind described which will be simple and economical of construction,easy and reliable of manipulation and operation, and which will bedurable.

The objects aforesaid of my invention are accomplished by theconstruction, arrangement and combination of parts described and claimedin this specification, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Similar characters of reference refer'to corresponding parts throughoutthe several views in the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view showingthe upper portion of a window casement upon which my invention isapplied. Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 is an end view ofmy improvedshade holder. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 44 Fig. 3.Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View on the line 55 Fig. 2. r i

The frame A upon which my improved device'is applied is made of sheetmetal pressed into the general form as shown in the drawings, having theinturned flanges A forming a continuous horizontal recess B.

The body C of my improved shade holder is made of sheet metal and is sodevised that it may be stamped or cut in flat form and then bent intothe boX-likeshape as shown, having the flanges C and the journal-headThe meeting edges will come together and make a neat joint at C and willbe held in position by the shaft D. This shaft is square in crosssection and will turn in round holes provided therefor in the body-sidesand has the integrally formed head D its opposite end is shouldered andhas the thumblever E secured thereon by the riveted head D will freelyturn.

F designates a cam that resides on the square shaft D, so that it willmove with the said shaft.

The grip-member G is of suitable thickness and width to occupy the spacebetween the sides of the bodyC and its end is provided with the foot Gadapted to reside in the recess B of the frame A. The grip-member G hasthe suitable hole G in which the cam F The edges of the gripmember areso slanted that when the cam is moved the grip-member will not impingeagainst the body C. When the thumb-lever E is lifted the foot G willmove away from the body C, so that the standard may be easily placed onthe frame A at the position desired, then when the thumb-lever E isdepressed, the foot G will be raised and held in hard contact with theflanges A. No machine work whatever is necessary in the making of thebody C, and the assembling of the parts involves only the placing inposition of the grip-member G and the cam F, then the shaft D isinserted into position, and the thumb-lever E placed thereon, then byriveting the head D the standard is complete.

My invention applied to use appears as shown in Fig. 1. The frame A issecured to the window by the application of screws or light nails. Thussecured in position the recess B forms a convenient and eflicienttrackway in which the holder may be adjusted and secured. Once so placedin position, change therefrom is never necessary because any variationin length of the shade-roller may be accommodated by the adjustment ofthe holder to any desired position in the recess B.

From the foregoing description of my invention, the application andoperation thereof will be apparent.

By manipulation of the thumb lever E my improved shade holder is easilyand effectively secured in desired positions.

What I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent ofthe United States,-is

1. A shade-roller support for a slotted frame-member substantially asdescribed, consisting of a box-shaped body a shaft rotatably securedtherein upon which is secured a cam, a thumb lever secured on the end ofsaid shaft, a flanged-foot having an extension that is engaged by saidcam, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. A shade roller support for a slotted frame member substantially asdescribed,

consisting of a hollow box-shaped body, a shaft rotatably securedtherein upon which shaft and between the Walls of the said body isrigidly secured a cam, a thiunblover secured. on said shal't, a flanged.post having an extension that is disposed between the walls of the saidbody and that is engaged by the said eain, substantially and for the purposes specified.

3. A shade-roller support for a slotted frame-member substantially asdescribed, consisting of the body-plate N having the flanges N andjournal-head N and bent to form a rectangular body the angular shaft 0journaled in the said body having the cam Q and the thumb-lever lsecured thereon; the l'langed-hniit it having the extension it engagedby said eain Q and sustained between the sides of said bodysubstantially as and for the purposes speeiiied.
